I am sorry this summary took so long. I had asked for the name of the
book that was written by someone who had MS and was helped by the gluten
free diet. Thank you to everyone who replied.

www.direct-ms.org advocates a milk-free, gluten-free diet along with
various supplements, including maintaining above normal levels of serum
Vitamin D...
Most interesting book on Vit D is UV Advantage by Michael Horlick.

You are probably thinking of the Roger McDougall story:

I don't know the book you're referring to in your post, but two of my books
discuss the association between MS and gluten ("Living Gluten-Free for
Dummies" and "Wheat-Free, Worry-Free").

MacDougall was a famous British playright who was diagnosed with MS in
the 1950's. The doctors felt it was best to keep this information from
him. They thought it was in his best interest not to tell him what he
had. [What STUPID ARROGANCE!!!!] It was not until he was bedridden that
he learned what illness he had. When he knew about it, he did some
reading and went on a gluten and casein free diet. He recovered almost
totally. This
is taken from a book called, CAN A GLUTEN FREE DIET HELP? HOW? by Lloyd
Rosenvold, M.D. Keats Publishing Co., 27 Pine Street, Box 876, New
Canaan, CT 06840-0876, 1992 ISBN 0-87983-538-9.
MacDougall eventually wrote a pamphlet titled "My Fight Against Multiple
Sclerosis"published in 1980 by Regenics, Inc., Mansfield, Ohio.
Rosenvold also includes some other anecdotes in his book.
